You are fighting a noble, but lost battle.

Idiots like BMY worship Communists DESPITE the fact that Communists murdered and tortured more innocents than the Nazis ever dreamed.

BMY and his ilk are morons that don't understand that "trickle-down" works as long as you don't have a stupid, lazy, permanent, entitled underclass that are being paid to feed, breed and vote for "D's".

Wow. Assuming you really are 26 yo, I deal with this sense of entitlement every single day as an employer.

First, unless you are into computers or are the next Bill Gates, your life would be much happier if you dispense with the idea that “you are so much more important” than every one else at age 26.

At age 26, no matter how hard you work, no matter how bright you are, you will ALWAYS be viewed as expendable. It doesn’t matter whether you work in a warehouse or at an investment bank on Wall Street. When I was 26, the best lesson in life that I learned was to STFO, listen, and learn how to work in a larger organization of people. I knew my bosses had some dumb ideas. I fetched a lot of coffee. IOW, I paid my friggin dues

The biggest problem I see with these pissants is that they do not want to pay their dues. They want to go from janitor to CEO in about a week, and if we don’t accommodate their friggin brilliance, well they just leave, which is fine, but is is rather aggravating to replace lower rung employees all the friggin time who are not patient enough to show a certain level of commitment to an organization.

So I usually just end up paying an older worker more money to do the menial tasks that the young brilliant ones won’t do... and you know what? The older don’t bitch or complain. They just do it. And they go home with a bigger pay check.

Millennial males are all beta so yes we are fricked

I mean, I think the idea of free college and a universal basic income is a joke; however, I graduated high school in 2008 and can tell you that kids my age were not given adequate career-related advice. Teachers/guidance councilors just pushed going to college as the only means of obtaining even a middle class lifestyle with no thought as to what to major in, obtaining internships, and things of that nature.

What I realized when I graduated college is that because all kids are being pushed into college, employers no longer value a college degree unless it is in some high demand field like medicine or engineering. More than anything it is seen as the absolute bare minimum. Else-wise you need experience as the employers no longer take the time/effort to train new hires given that the state of the economy provides them with so many potential hires and because many degree programs are simply awful and do not come close to providing the student with any sort of job/career training.

Students should line up internships as many summers as possible in their field of choice before they graduate to stand the best shot at getting a decent job out of college.

Even then, the cost of college is outrageous compared to when our parents went to school. A college degree for most young adults essentially puts them in depth for the first decade of their career. With salaries at an all time low, this is why millennial aren't buying homes and waiting so long to start a family.

I see the cost of college like I see the cost of living increasing due to a higher minimum wage. Colleges can get away with upping tuition because the government is so willing to pay for it, but if the government would get out of the student loan business hence loans were more difficult to find, I think you'd see the cost of college sink.

I would also like to not have to pay $3,000 out of pocket for a routine outpatient surgery.

The cost of medical care has shot up like a rocket compared to average wages. Insurance should be something utilized for catastrophic circumstances, but the average American cannot afford medical care without insurance. Either drive down the costs of medical care so that I don't have to rely so heavily on insurance or nationalize it like every other civilized nation on the planet.

The average retirement age is currently ~62 years old and twenty years ago it was ~57 years old. That's not the millenials fault -- it's the boomers and Gen Xers shitty decision making "trickling down".

Maybe the govt can round up these evil people and force them to retire...

Do you even understand how insidious your post is?

Boomer here and college has never been free. Cheaper maybe, but government intervention has driven the cost of college skyward.

Millennial generation

Born between 1980 and 1996. How many on this board fit that?

The oldest millennials will be 40 soon. Some already have kids of their own in college or approaching it, many are well into their home mortgages, etc.
